Testing Farm release 2024-02.1

The multihost testing from now uses tmt run provision --update-missing, see docs. This means it will update the image attribute in provision step with the environemnts[].compose API field only if it is not set in the plan. This might break your current multihost plans. Please update your plans accordingly.

Testing Farm CLI tool updated from v0.0.16 to v0.0.17, please update your installation.
